Dreiherrnspitze

Dreiherrnspitze is a mountain summit on the Austria-Italy border with an elevation of about 3,500 meters (11,500 feet). The peak features several glaciers and presents multiple climbing routes that vary in technical difficulty.

The peak was first climbed in 1866 by mountaineers who established it as an important alpinism milestone. Its location at the boundary of three historical territories had already given it geographic significance centuries before.

The name means Three Lords Peak, marking the meeting point of territories controlled by the Counts of Tyrol, Counts of Görz, and Archbishops of Salzburg.

Climbers should expect steep terrain and glaciated sections that require experience and proper equipment. Summer months offer the safest conditions for attempting the ascent.

The mountain marks a rare point where Salzburg, Tyrol, and South Tyrol meet at the summit, making it a triple-border peak. This geographic coincidence draws mountaineers who appreciate standing at the exact meeting point of three regions.
